The Foreign Market Development (FMD) Program, also known as the Cooperator Program, helps create, expand and maintain long-term export markets for U.S. agricultural products. Under the program, FAS partners with U.S. agricultural producers and processors, who are represented by non-profit commodity or trade associations called “cooperators,” to promote U.S. commodities overseas.
The FMD program focuses on generic promotion of U.S. commodities, rather than consumer-oriented promotion of branded products. Preference is given to organizations that represent an entire industry or are nationwide in membership and scope. FMD-funded projects generally address long-term opportunities to reduce foreign import constraints or expand export growth opportunities.
For example, this might include efforts to: * reduce infrastructural or historical market impediments, * improve processing capabilities, * modify codes and standards, or * identify new markets or new uses for the agricultural commodity or product.
